1776 New York City Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr, sir?
That depends, who's asking?
Oh, sure, sir I'm Alexander Hamilton, I'm at your service, sir I have been looking for you
I'm getting nervous
Sir, I heard your name at Princeton I was seeking an accelerated course of study When I got sort of out of sorts with a buddy of yours I may have punched him, it's a blur, sir He handles the financials?
You punched the bursar?
Yes, I wanted to do what you did Graduate in two, then join the revolution He looked at me like I was stupid, I'm not stupid
So how'd you do it, how'd you graduate so fast?
It was my parent's dying wish before they passed
You're an orphan, of course I'm an orphan God, I wish there was a war Then we could prove that we're worth more than anyone bargained for
Can I buy you a drink? That would be nice
While we're talking, let me offer you some free advice Talk less
What?
Smile more
Ha
Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for
You can't be serious
You wanna get ahead?
Yes
Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead
Aye, yo yo, yo yo, yo What time is it?
Show time
Like I said
Show time, show time Yo, I'm John Lauren's in the place to be (woo) A-two pints o' Sam Adams, but I'm workin' on three, uh Those redcoats don't want it with me 'Cause I will pop-chick-a pop these cops 'til I'm free
Aye, oui oui, mon ami, je m'appelle Lafayette The Lancelot of the revolutionary set I came from afar just to say bonsoir Tell the king casse-toi Who's the best? C'est moi
Brrah, brrah, I am Hercules Mulligan Up in it, lovin' it, yes I heard ya mother said come again
Aye, lock up ya daughters and horses, of course It's hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets (wow)
No more sex, pour me another brew, son Let's raise a couple more to the revolution
Well, if it ain't the prodigy of Princeton college
Aaron Burr
Give us a verse, drop some knowledge
Good luck with that, you're takin' a stand You spit, I'ma sit We'll see where we land (boo)
Burr, the revolution's imminent, to what do you stall for?
If you stand for nothing Burr, what'll you fall for?
Ooh, who are you? Who are you Who are you? Ooh, who is this kid, what's he gonna do?
All right, all right, that's what I'm talking about! Now, everyone give it up for the maid of honor, Angelica Schuyler!
A toast to the groom! To the groom, to the groom (to the groom) To the bride!
To the bride. To the bride (to the bride) From your sister Angelica, Angelica, Angelica
Who is always by your side (By your side, by your side) To your union
To the union! (To the union) To the revolution!
And the hope that you provide You provide (You provide) May you always (Always)
Be satisfied (Rewind) Rewind
Rewind Helpless... Skies... skies...
Drownin' in 'em... Drowning
Rewind
I remember that night I just might (rewind!) I remember that night I just might (rewind) I remember that night, I remember that... I remember that night, I just might Regret that night for the rest of my days I remember those soldier boys Tripping over themselves to win our praise I remember that dreamlike candlelight
Like a dream that you can't quite place
But Alexander, I'll never forget the first time I saw your face I have never been the same Intelligent eyes in a hunger-pang frame And when you said "Hi, " I forgot my dang name Set my heart aflame, ev'ry part aflame This is not a game You strike me as a woman who has never been satisfied
I'm sure I don't know what you mean You forget yourself You're like me, I'm never satisfied Is that right? I have never been satisfied
My name is Angelica Schuyler
Alexander Hamilton Where's your family from?
Unimportant, there's a million things I haven't done
Just you wait, just you wait
So so so...
So this is what it feels like to match wits
With someone at your level! what the hell is the catch?
It's the feeling of freedom, of seeing the light
It's Ben Franklin with a key and a kite
You see it right?
The conversation lasted two minutes, maybe three minutes, everything we said in total agreement! It's a dream and it's a bit of a dance A bit of a posture, it's a bit of a stance. He's a bit of a flirt, but I'mma give it a chance I asked about his fam'ly, did you see his answer? His hands started fidgeting, he looked askance
He's penniless, he's flying by the seat of his pants Handsome, boy does he know it Peach fuzz and he can't even grow it I wanna take him far away from this place Then I turn and see my sister's face and she is Helpless And I know she is
Helpless And her eyes are just Helpless And I realize
Three fundamental truths at the exact same time
Where are you taking me?
I'm about to change your life
Then by all means, lead the way
Number one!
I'm a girl in a world in which
My only job is to marry rich
My father has no sons so I'm the one
Who has to social climb for one
So I'm the oldest and the wittiest and the gossip in
New York City is insidious
And Alexander is penniless Ha, that doesn't mean I want him any less Elizabeth Schuyler, it's a pleasure to meet you Schuyler? My sister! Number two! He's after me because I'm a Schuyler sister That elevates his status, I'd
Have to be naive to set that aside
Maybe that is why I introduce him to Eliza
Now that's his bride Nice going Angelica, he was right, you will never be satisfied Thank you for all your service If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it I'll leave you to it! Number three! I know my sister like I know my own mind You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind If I tell her that I love him she'd be silently resigned He'd be mine She would say "I'm fine" She'd be lying But when I fantasize at night, it's Alexander's eyes As I romanticize what might have been if I hadn't sized Him up so quickly At least my dear Eliza's his wife At least I keep his eyes in my life To the groom! To the groom, to the groom, to the groom To the bride! To the bride To the bride (to the bride) From your sister Angelica, Angelica, Angelica Who is always by your side By your side, by your side To your union To the union! To the revolution! And the hope that you provide You provide. You provide May you always Always Be satisfied Satisfied, (satisfied), satisfied And I know (be satisfied) ((be satisfied)) (be satisfied) She'll be happy as his bride (satisfied, satisfied, satisfied) And I know ((be satisfied)) (satisfied, satisfied, satisfied) ((be satisfied)) He will never be satisfied I will never be satisfied
